- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
It would be really easy for a lazy journalist or casual punk rock fan to
unfairly pigeonhole Pour Habit without ever having heard them. After all,
theyÆre a fast, riff heavy metallic/melodic punk band from Southern
California, their name is a drinking pun and theyÆre on Fat Wreck Chords.
However! That kind of reductive logic ignores that this is one of the most
out there, genre bending artists to unapologetically mix up musical styles
while weaving politics and partying together into a one of a kind manifesto
that hearkens back to the early days experimentation in insurgent music. Pour
HabitÆs new slab, Got Your Back, comes out on Fat Wreck Chords on April 12,
2011, theyÆre about to have a whole lot of people talking about the way they
do shit, which is frankly, pretty unusual. So, then, letÆs get to it. WhatÆs
Pour Habit all about?
Well, for starters, these dudes play a weird, technical hybrid of punk,
metal, malt liquor and reggae. TheyÆve been known to spruce up their shows
with break dancing, AND they can even do all this while drunk. And itÆs this
very combination of off-beat musical proficiency and reckless debauchery that
first attracted Fat Wreck Chords to Pour Habit like bums to a guy with some
cigarettes and led to the re-release of their self released debut full
length, Suiticide, subsequent high profile tours with such genre heavyweights
and Pennywise, Strung Out and NOFX and finally landed them back in the studio
with none other than Fat Mike himself at the helm, producing their new record
Got Your Back. Can you imagine the hangovers that Mike must have fought
through to bring you all these riffs and all this pummeling?
And make no mistake, pummeling is the result of this collaboration. Got Your
Back is thirteen tracks of ball melting, face burning speed, angular riffs,
genre bending and lyrics about everything from Machiavellian political
maneuvering to getting totally shithoused and a vibe that canÆt be easily
categorized. ItÆs also worth mentioning that anyone looking for Suiticide
part two will be disappointed. Sure, the party is still rolling on Got Your
Back, but itÆs hardly the focus. ItÆs almost as if after the massive bender
of touring on Suiticide the Pour Habit dudes woke up, brushed their teeth,
dusted off their dicks and came correct with a vastly more emotionally heavy
and politically driven album. But donÆt think that means it doesnÆt still
totally slay. I guess one of the dudes in the band referred to their sound as
ôa mountain landing on your faceö so uhàyeah, thatÆs heavy, and it kind of
makes it sound like maybe they still get stoned every now and then, but still
you gotta admit, that sounds pretty cool.
Anyway, in support of Got Your Back, the boys in Pour Habit are hitting the
road for the foreseeable future both as headliners and as support for more of
the big guns in punk rock. Remember when I mentioned the break dancing
earlier? That shit doesnÆt show up on the record, but it happens at the live
show, which is, I donÆt think I need to tell you, not to be missed. IÆm
talking about Kirk Hammet-esque riff blazing behind honest-to-pete headspins!
Any way you slice it, Pour Habit puts on the kind of high energy show that is
guaranteed to wig out your parents, so come get in on the party. And bring
your boom box. This shitÆs uhàpoppinÆ off? Are the kids still saying that?
No? Fuck. Okay, back to the Urban Dictionary I go.
